I tried...
Palo Brunch gone

You know a crazy Idea here,

I have read on a few other peoples cruise reports, that the ones who went in at the end of the Palo Brunch asked for take home trays of some of the uneaten deserts.. (Honest I have seen pictures)

I have to admit it mortifies me & my bride, I can not imagine asking for take home on the cruise... To be honest there have been a few times I wish they would take be back to the room afterwards..

Any hoo.. If one of us here is at the tail end of the Palo brunch he/she could ask for a take a take home for the ones who did not..

Of course, dog gone it who ever wants to Partake best not forget and belly up to the bar so to speak and let this poor person in the lurch .. who ever did this would be forced to have a tray of deserts alone in their room.. Dear God that could kill a person..

Well it is a crazy idea

Hey Everyone! I finally got around to buying our plane tickets today and I'm wondering what your plans are for getting to and from the port?

We are flying in on Saturday, renting a car and staying in Cape Canaveral that night. We did this last time and it worked out well. It's cheaper to do this for 5 of us than it is to use DCL. I'm wondering though about getting from the ship back to the airport - any thoughts? Anyone use DCL in the past? What it the cost for one way? Is it hassle free or stressful?

Thanks for sharing!

We're using Cocoa Beach Shuttle from the airport to our hotel at Port Canaveral before the cruise. After the cruise we are going to WDW, so I was planning on booking the DCL transfer since there is just the 2 of us.

I'm guessing renting a car again would be the cheapest for the 5 of you, I think DCL transfers are kind of spendy when you have to pay for 5. The fare for 5 from the port to the airport on CB Shuttle is $85, I bet a car is less than that, isn't it?

Yep, for a group of 5, I would definitely rent a car.

We have always stayed at a WDW resort the night before (being DVC members) so we have used the DCL bus which runs about $35/pp each way. This is twice the price for a car rental but less stressful since DCL handles all the luggage (picked up in the room and delivered to our cabin without us touching it) and we are guaranteed to arrive before the ship leaves (no traffic issues holding us up). But, like I said, this is for 2 of us. If there were more people then the price difference would tip the balance in favor of a rental whether we stayed at a WDW Resort or not.

What is the date for open booking for all cruisers??

 

[ppartekim]

What is the date for open booking for all cruisers??

I believe that would be 75 days...

Newbies - 75 Days (1st timers)
Silver - 90 days (2-5 cruises)
Gold - 105 days (6-10 cruises)
Platinum - 120 days (11+ cruises)

 

[dsnydaddy]

So that makes the last date Aug 9th at Midnight for east coasters or Aug 8 at 9pm for those on the west coast.

Can someone explain to me how the fish extenders work?

Hi Muggsie, to the cruise. Is this your first? The list is growing. By the way if you are interested at all about joining the FE you should send Pat a pm. Happy planning.

Thanks for the welcome! I haven't had a chance to get back in here since my first posts. This will be my 3rd Disney cruise and 8th cruise overall.

Here's my roll call info

Itsmuggsie.....Margaret (friends call me Muggsie)
DP Cindy
DD Ellie (2)
DMom Mary

We will be celebrating Ellie's 2nd birthday while on the cruise. We're staying at the poly for 3 nights after the cruise. We'll be driving from our home to the port. It's about 2 1/2 hour drive.

So that makes the last date Aug 9th at Midnight for east coasters or Aug 8 at 9pm for those on the west coast.

I think that means 11PM for us in MN

 

[dsnydaddy]

You got it Beth. One of the only perks for Disneyphiles living on the west coast is that time bump. I can't get a PIN code to save my soul.
